Investigation

[George Stacy POV]

[...there have been sounds of multiple gunshots in downtown area postcode....at possibly Swan Bar....requesting nearby units to reach scene ASAP....over and out]

"....."

"Ah, shit! this just had to happen just when I was about to end my shift wasn't it?" George groaned and changed the address on his police GPS to get to the destination faster.

*shut*

I arrived at the scene and got out of the car to see that some of my juniors were already there and they had secured the perimeter, I was also relieved to see that there was no shootout scene going on. This made me less tense.

There was an ambulance present and the ever-hungry for news, hounds...ehem I mean reporters crowding the lead junior officer who was trying to calm them down.

"Alright people!!! please make some distance from the scene and let me talk to my fellow officer. I will be sure to give you your answers when the situation has settled" I shouted while approaching the officer to free him and get an account.

[Officer Stacy please tell us what has happened here! This area is not in the area of Hell's kitchen but still, there were gunshots!! We need answers]

[Officer Stacy! Officer Stacy! Do you think Hell's Kitchen is going to expand?]

[Officer Stacy what are your views on gun laws?]

[Officer Stacy has anyone died in this shootout?]

[Officer Stacy is it true that you are having an affair?]

The bloodsuckers started crowding me! Like I don't know what has happened yet people! cut me some slack! and also what's with that last question?

"Alright, people we will give a statement after all the evidence is collected and the victims and bystanders have been found or questioned, please make some distance from this area." I said and thank god some of them had brains and decided to retreat a few meters back...wait a minute...

"Not a few meters! please go back behind the yellow tape lines!" these dimwits never learn...shaking my head I went to the junior officer who was now gulping water and calming himself after being rid of the reporters and got an account of what had happened.

"So basically, this is a minor case of human trafficking and the supposed criminals are now dead? and you say that you could not find any fingerprints or identifiable footprints of the supposed "saviour" of these victims" I hold my head in frustration. Normally there would be some trace left behind by a person who participated in a shootout due to carelessness.

"Yes sir! we have done blood checks and have not found any matches to this mysterious attacker. The footprints also don't help because the sole marks resemble common designs. There are no fingerprints and no sweat or blood left around."

" keep searching for anything we could find and report as soon as anything new is found!"

"Yes sir!"

"Also check the 6 people about to be smuggled for any injuries and then search for their origin"

The officer nodded and then returned to his team which was working with a detective.

*haaa...now I gotta deal with them" I sighed and then went to the reporters.

They started shouting questions as soon as I came near, "Alright people, the investigation is underway and all I can say is that a human trafficking incident has been stopped by a person in a black coat, we do not yet know about this mysterious attacker's intentions, but the traffickers are dead. We will give the count later when everything has been accounted for in the perimeter. I ask you to remain patient, I assure you that by morning you will have the full report"

This calmed most of them and they like reasonable people stopped asking, I was going back when...

[But Sir! please comment if you are in a relationship?]

what kind of news channel is this? hmm? Fox News? I knew it! What is their problem with me?

I just sighed in resignation and ignored the reporter and went back to help in the investigation.

It will for sure be a long night...

[Peter POV]

'Hmm, so this is how they investigate' I was currently still in my hiding place but due to my enhanced vision and hearing I was getting a first-hand view of how police in NY conduct investigations. It was quite interesting and it was quite shocking for me when I saw how advanced investigating tools they had.

They had freakin' scanners for almost everything!!!

Well in any case the investigation was very informative for me. I got to learn a few more things and got to see practical applications of things that I had browsed before. I also accidentally saw some people's passwords but meh...that's the fault of my new vision, not like I was curious or anything...

Well, to sum up, I think I did pretty well in not leaving any trace of myself besides the inevitable footprints. The victims will also hopefully be protected now so with a light heart I think I will go back home to sleep now and prepare for the big day tomorrow! I am gonna graduate early from high school.

Deciding this I shoot out my webs and made them invisible, something I tried out while watching the investigation.

I turn myself invisible and silently jump from the building and then swung while calculating the best and shortest path home along with the calculations that I did subconsciously to attach the webs to the best spots for best manoeuvres.

Slowly this will all become natural soon. I smirked under my mask and felt the night air brushing against my breathable upper armour and swung neither too fast and neither too slow.

Maybe I should add space for music headphones later? I thought idly while I swung...
